Sims, who committed to Alabama in April, is preparing to lead his team from Oscar Smith (Va.) High School against Venice (Fla.) High in a 6 p.m. game televised by ESPNU.

Despite it's Atlantic Coast location, tonight's game has a real SEC flavor to it. Sims was one of the more celebrated commitments to Alabama's expected 2010 signing class, and is already being projected in some circles as a quarterback of the future for the Crimson Tide. Venice QB Trey Burton, meanwhile, is being cast in a similar light for the school he committed to join: Florida.
